Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1–10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate "subscores" in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an accommodation that you booked through our platform if you stayed there, or if you got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize in detecting fake reviews submitted to our platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

AustraliaA few rooms have a private but detached bathroom accessible in the hallway. Obviously this isn't something that can be changed and was no issue at all but just be aware of it in case you are sensitive to that
The rooms are so spacious and the whole place is so well fit out and finished.

Hong KongThis boutique B&B is extraordinarily well presented. Everything works, it’s close to the town centre, and it is absolutely stunning in its style. It is spacious and private and the management is always around if needed. We have stayed at a lot of these places and Cedar House really .impressed us.

AustraliaThere was no tea making facilities in the bedroom we had to walk upstairs to make tea or get a drinking glass. Also as a gf person I had toast or toast for breakfast. No cereals for GF.
Ease of access to the town meant that we could walk from property. We loved the comfortable room, and sitting room. The owners were very helpful and knowledgeable about the Gisborne area.

New ZealandEverything was fine
We had a large, bright, downstairs ensuite room with access to the pool area. It was well decorated and the room and the bed were very comfortable. The shower was also great. Breakfast was well laid out in dining room with shared family table. Good choices and very relaxed. The flow of the common areas was lovely. After checking out we sat outside in the pool area whilst waiting for our ride. A pleasant end to our comfortable stay.

New ZealandThere was nothing we didn’t like, only comment that, as we were the first to stay in the Pool House, perhaps side lamp in the bedrooms and one hair dryer - but you couldn’t fault this place - it was fantastic!
Everything. The property itself, the hosts, the area - was the best stay

New ZealandThe private bathroom was across the hall, but this was a minor inconvenience. There was no fridge in the room, but there was a portable cooler for my medications. Again, only a minor quibble.
The room was large and very comfortable, as were the public rooms. The staff were very accommodating, and the location was quiet and perfect for my purposes. There was a generous range of breakfast options and hot drinks available at any time of the day. I would certainly stay again.

New ZealandUnfortunately our plans and schedule did not allow us to enjoy the facility and amenities it offered as a whole. Next time we will definitely leave more time to relax and take a swim, have a meal and enjoy the property and other amenities on offer.
The property and accommodation itself was delightful and comfortable, and although our room did not include an ensuite, we did have a very private, lovely & modern bathroom opposite our bedroom. There was also a thoughtfully stocked kitchenette with a great selection of complimentary beverages, snacks and treats. Unfortunately we did not get to have the delicious complimentary breakfast that was available each morning, as we already had plans.
